1784: Russians settle Alaska
On Kodiak Island, Gregory Shelikhov, a Russian fur trader, founded Three Saints Bay, the first permanent Russian settlement in Alaska. He lived there for two years with his wife and 192 men. From Three Saints Bay, the Alaskan mainland was explored and other fur-trade centers were established. In 1786 Shelikhov returned to Russia and in 1790 dispatched Alseksandr Baranlov to manage his affairs in Alaska. Barnov established the Russian American Company and in 1799 was granted a monopoly over Alaska. Russian interests in Alaska gradually declined, and after the Crimean War in the 1850's a nearly bankrupt Russia sought to dispose of the territory altogether. On March 20, 1867, Secretary of State William H. Seward signed a treaty with Russia for the purchase of Alaska for $7.2 million. Despite the bargin price of roughly two cents per acre, the Alaskan purchase was ridiculed in Congress and in the press as "Seward's Folly", "Seward's Icebox" and President Andrew Johnson's Polar Bear Garden"

  IF YOU WERE ACCUSED OF BEING A CHRISTIAN COULD YOU PROVE IT?
I attended the Catholic Church while married to my first wife for 38 years and raised my four children in the Catholic Faith. My children are very involved in the church and are very close friends with the priest in this story. He has been part of our extended family for many years.

FOUNDING FATHER QUOTES & OTHERS
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."
Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.) Roman Statesman
